Migration & Movement in 3996, VIC
How people move — recent moves within Australia and arrivals from overseas.
A huge gap exists between postcode 3996 and the rest of the country when it comes to where people come from. While nearly half the population has moved house recently, very few new residents are arriving from overseas. This creates a community that is highly mobile within Australia but sees very little international migration.
Moving home
People who moved in the last five years.
About 45.1% of people moved here in the last five years, which is much higher than most areas. This figure is well above the 40% seen across Victoria and the 40.7% national average, though it has fallen slightly since 2011.
Arrivals from overseas
Overseas-born residents who arrived recently.
Only 2.8% of residents arrived from overseas recently, a figure far below the state average of 15.6%. This is much lower than most other areas and shows a sharp drop from the 10% recorded in 2011.
